The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between balance, muscle strength, functional mobility, fear of falling and nutritional status of elderly people. Fourty-three healthy community-dwelling elderly participated in this transverse descriptive study. Volunteers were evaluated for functional mobility (Timed Up and Go), fear of falling (Falls Efficacy Scale - International), muscle strength of the lower limbs (Dinamometry), nutritional status (Mini Nutritional Assessment and 24 hours Recall) and socioeconomic status.
